Transcription
When they are sick and in poverty I go in and work to make them well. We are pretty quiet in our little home and pretty poor so everything that helps makes us glad - Thank you [illegible] so much!
Sincerely yours

My dear Mr Muir,
It made me glad when you sent that money by Mr Ke[stler?] for my nursing work - You see I live down here among the poor people and am quite alone with just a house-keeper. Our work isn't charity because we are just friends to the neighbors.
